Salman Khan last graced the theaters with his film ‘Tiger 3’, which was released in November 2023. Since then, fans have eagerly awaited updates about his upcoming project, ‘Sikandar’, slated for release on Eid 2025. Directed by A.R. Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, this film has created a buzz, particularly with the announcement that renowned South Indian actor Sathyaraj, known for his iconic role as Kattappa in ‘Baahubali’, will play the villain.
‘Sikandar’ was officially announced in April 2024, and excitement has been building steadily amongst the audience. Those who adore the Bhai jaan can hardly wait to see him back on the big screen. Here are five significant updates about ‘Sikandar’ that fans will definitely find intriguing.
Key Updates on ‘Sikandar’

According to reports from Dainik Bhaskar, Salman Khan will portray a character with two distinct facets. Initially, he takes on the role of a businessman; however, his character also has a dark past, illustrating a much more rugged side to him. This duality draws parallels to Amitabh Bachchan’s character in the 1991 classic ‘Hum’, where he portrayed two contrasting personas.
2. Real-Life Connection
Another intriguing angle is the real-life connection to Salman’s character. It is said that the businessman role mirrors Salman’s actual persona as a successful entrepreneur.

The makers of ‘Sikandar’ are committed to delivering an electrifying cinematic experience, particularly through remarkable action sequences. Reports indicate that filming for one such sequence will commence on August 22, involving the use of 10,000 rounds of ammunition and pistols. This promises an action-packed scene that will likely reverberate through theaters with its explosive intensity.
4. Focused Dedication to ‘Sikandar’
Sources reveal that Salman Khan is prioritizing ‘Sikandar’ above all else this year. He has reportedly declined other projects, including the hosting of ‘Bigg Boss OTT 3′, to channel his energy and focus entirely on this film. This commitment demonstrates the significance of ‘Sikandar’ in Salman’s upcoming filmography.
5. Fight Sequence with the Villain’s Son
An exciting detail emerging about the film is that Salman has already filmed a confrontation scene with the villain’s son, which takes place inside a private chartered plane. This particular sequence promises to be a thrilling highlight of the film, showcasing Salman’s action prowess in another dynamic setting.
Overall, anticipate an exhilarating experience as Salman Khan prepares to unleash ‘Sikandar’ on his fans this Eid.
